Have had three before, plus other Sighthounds (Borzoi's, Saluki's).

They are wonderful.

We have an amazingly smart elder who was the queen of the track in her day, sadly that's why she got rescued because she was being used to breed other winners and our rescue group found her in milk fever....she's our baby...and then there's our gorgeous boy, a ding dong that ran the wrong way one time at the track...seriously it's on You Tube...he's still our boy and we love him!!

All the Sighthounds we've had have been really smart. My favorite story is about one of the Borzoi's. I was sorting garden produce on the back porch. She sidled up, and when she thought I wasn't looking, snuck off with a piece of okra. Apparently, she had chosen poorly. A few minutes later, she brought it back and laid it back on the table again.

Two of the Greyhounds I've had were retired off the track. My one little girl, the third, we had gotten when she was just a year old because she was a wash out. She was so fast, she would run to the front of a pack and trip them up, trying to play. Later, she excelled at coursing though.

So glad you could adopt your's and be loved by them. They are snuggle bunnies.

"Yes, I know he's a big knucklehead and a pest, but if I don't love him, who will?"

It looks like all of you lucked out!

Its generosity is undoubtedly appreciated and repaid daily.

What handsome, graceful, loving creatures. Their human friends are lucky to know them.
